Basically everything. Management is an absolute nightmare. they hire employees and treat them like they do not trust them. they design and architecture entire solutions unbeknown to you then come up to you and ask you why it isnt done yet? they are trying to adopt a cloud solution with absolutely no knowledge or training, no real idea of what they are really even doing, constantly trying to hire 3rd party people to assist however, didnt they just hire sr. engineers for that reason? it's completely backwards. they are so adverse to change and modern workplace, it will take them years to go from any kind of on-prem solution to cloud solution yet they act like it can be done overnight. If you are an experienced engineer- do not waste your time here. You will learn almost nothing- you will lose your experience with deploying new technologies and capabilities because Selective is years behind. It is in the middle of no-where so the talent there either has to commute far or try to be remote but the micromanagement is so insane that it may not even work out for you with a remote flex. Everyone here is a 9-5 person, no real passion behind what they are doing. The security team is also a nightmare because they say no to everything, either lack of understanding or lack of trust- either way, why hire employees when you don't trust them? I would stay away from this company. You may grow in position because they need bodies, but you will not grow technically, mentally or any other way that really matters. It is not worth the stress that management will put on you because of their immensely negative management techniques.
